The Heritage Education Network

Acknowledgements and Credits

The Heritage Education Network (THEN), a public service project of the Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, went online in 1998. THEN was funded, in part, through the generous support of the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT), an office of the National Park Service.

The content of THEN was compiled and developed over the past two decades by the Center for Historic Preservation and by practitioners of heritage education throughout the United States and in other countries, too. If the copy and images that exist in THEN were published in a traditional book format, the book would exceed 350 pages and would include more than 200 photographs and images. We are grateful to the many individual educators, organizations, and agencies who have provided and allowed us to reproduce materials and to link to their sites.

THEN's web team includes Caneta S. Hankins, MTSU Center for Historic Preservation, Project Director and Principal Author; Jerry Rizvi, Web Master and Computer Consultant (1996-1998); Stacy Weber (Graduate Assistant, 1999-2001), Aaron Maracvitch (Graduate Assistant 2001-2002).

The "Archeology" section of THEN was researched and written by Michael Strutt, formerly an archeologist at Poplar Forest in Bedford, Virginia, while a Graduate Research Assistant at the CHP and doctoral candidate at MTSU.

Stacy Weber, formerly a secondary educator from Buffalo, New York, authored and designed the "Documents" web pages and authored the "Family History" pages while a graduate assistant at the CHP.

Graphic artist Brooke Niessner designed THEN's original logo and the icons for each section.

MTSU's Publications and Graphics Services and Photographic Services and the CHP staff assisted and supported this project in a

variety of ways.
